SECTION 2 AZIMUTH: Circular rotation around the vehicle. (like a clock face: front of vehicle is 12:00, rear is 6:00) (Fig. 2) Fig. 2 ELEVATION: Angle in degrees measured from the ground plane (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 SIGNAL STRENGTH: Intensity of electronic signal received from the satellite transmission. DEFINITION OF TERMS Page 3...
Page 6: Tools And Materials Required
SECTION 3 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED: - drill and drill bit set - tape measure - 7/16” open end wrench (coax connections) - adhesive sealant (compatible with roof material) - appropriate fasteners to install all components and wiring - 5/32” allen wrench, channel lock or pliers (to remove shipping bolts) - wire cutter (to remove shipping tie strap) KIT CONTENTS: 1.
Page 7 IMPORTANT! The tie strap and spacer, and the bolts and washers must be removed from the bottom of the dome unit prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOME COVER TO REMOVE THESE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS. YOU MUST PLUG THE SHIPPING BOLT HOLES WITH THE SUPPLIED PLUGS (ATTACHED TO TIE STRAP SHIPPING RESTRAINT).
Page 8 DOME LOCATION 4. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver, controller, and 12 volt power source inside, using the following criteria: a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
Page 9: Dome Installation
Fig. 7 IMPORTANT! The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride cab: NEVER to any structure mounted directly to the frame. DOME INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! Make sure shipping restraints are removed from bottom of dome unit (Fig. 5, Page 5). Cable connections must ALWAYS be positioned facing the rear of vehicle.
Page 10: External Wiring
Note: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the dome unit to the roof. Depending on the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws, well nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts and T anchors may be used, and should always be used in combination with a roof compatible sealant.
Page 11 11. Run wires from the back of the dome unit to the roof edge, then along edge to location where wiring will be fed into the vehicle. (If installing an optional second receiver, run auxiliary coax to location where it will enter the vehicle.) Secure wiring to roof every 12-18 inches (Fig.
Page 12: Internal Wiring
INTERNAL WIRING IMPORTANT: The connection between the dome unit and the receiver must be a direct connection with no devices in between. Any other devices should be downstream from the receiver. 14. Inside vehicle, connect main coax from the dome unit directly to the “satellite in” port of the main receiver.
Page 13: Operation
SECTION 4 IMPORTANT! There must be a clear “line of sight” to the southern sky. Mountains, buildings, trees, telephone poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal from reaching the dish. 1. Turn TV and satellite receiver on. 2. Go to the signal meter screen on TV. 3.

Page 17 While the dish rotates, the direction of the dish in relation to the vehicle’s position will be displayed on the controller as a clock number. (The windshield is always 12:00 o’clock: see Fig. 2, Page 3.) This information can be used to determine when the dish is close to pointing at the desired satellite.
